🔮 This Week in Astrology: Venus Moves Into Taurus - Action, Closure, Harmony & New Energy | 2–8 June

As we approach the end of spring – a season that supports assertive action and forward momentum – a wave of harmonious and supportive astrology sets the tone, inviting us to stay active and purposeful. With the first quarter moon bringing a surge of dynamic energy, this week is all about movement and initiative. There’s a notable shift under way as we begin transitioning into a more yin and supportive energy this summer. Mercury and Venus both move from yang into yin signs, softening the pace and creating space for a different kind of progress. The coming weeks are rich with support, offering fertile ground for expansive conversations, beneficial connections, and steady, meaningful action.

Astro Highlights of the Week

Thursday 5th June

Venus in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini @ 28 degrees

• The planet of relationships and attraction is in a harmonious aspect with the planet of growth, optimism and expansion

• Both planets are at the tail end of their signs – closing a chapter

• A moment to harvest rewards and prepare for a fresh, expansive phase

• A distinctly yang energy – courageous, energising and relational

• Consider what you’re wrapping up – the conditions are supportive for taking action

• Both planets have recently been in their fall, so things may have felt a little off – but from a broader perspective, there’s growth

• Encouragement here to move forward with purpose

Mercury in Gemini sextile Mars in Leo @ 23 degrees

• A supportive aspect that brings clarity in communication and motivation for action

• A good day for making a plan – Mercury offers mental precision, while Mars in a fire sign brings the drive to act

• This may involve visibility, being seen, or using communication to create impact

• Ideal for a call to action or making announcements that initiate movement

Friday 6th June

Venus Moves into Taurus

• Venus enters its home sign of Taurus

• Recent weeks may have felt intense or fiery – now comes a sense of grounding and ease

• This doesn’t mean a lack of momentum – earth energy supports tangible progress

• Taurus reminds us we don’t always need to push – yin energy can also carry us forward

• Embrace the slow and steady pace – a time to make progress while savouring life

Mercury In Gemini squares North Node in Pisces @ 23 degrees

• Slightly eclipse-like – may involve a conversation or insight around your current path

• Potential for a sudden mental breakthrough

• Tension could arise between what you think is ‘right’ and the direction you're being drawn toward

• Using your human design strategy and self-awareness practices can help here

• Gemini brings duality, Pisces brings boundlessness – the challenge lies in navigating possibility without losing direction
